i agree the stock cam is def weak for a 383 but doing a comp cams custom turbo might give me more headache on the initial tune. i looked into the 383 and its one of the more common strokers that i've read about because of the rod and crank geometry. the other option was a 396 i think. i'm checking to see if i'll need a bigger turbo with the 383, i may just make it with 5psi and not max it out. the scat kit is supposed to be 9.5 compression with 70cc heads i was thinking with low boost to keep around 10:1 unless 9.5:1 wont mess with the low end hp & tq, then i'm all game. what uses a 317 head?
my main goal was getting more power but not messing with daily drivability. it was working great, i could drive around all day in vacuum and as soon as i opened her up over 3k she boosted like mad. the 383 should bring that down to full at like 2500 but it may surge at the top end idk yet
my other option is dropping the turbo until i can get a bigger one and go n/a with it. should get a lil over 500 hp out of it. but god does that thing sound soo good spooling. its actually louder than the exhaust
